Synopsis

Danforth Academy is an upscale boarding school where extremely wealthy families send their children. Four students, Abby, Paige, Claire, and Taylor, make friends with one another despite some initial misgivings and band together to solve the mystery of why students are falling sick after eating the cafeteria food. They believe that it may be someone targeting various groups at school such as the cheerleaders and theatre kids, but cannot come up with a reason as to why this is happening.

They compile a list of suspects: the super-wealthy Mia and Riley, wacky Sean, the strange Professor Plume, and Emily, the intelligent daughter of the principal. Eventually, the students discover that the culprit is Mia, whose father owns a vending machine business. She wanted to attend modeling camp and tricked everyone into thinking that the cafeteria food was contaminated in order to drive up sales to the vending machines, which are owned by her father.
